With funding from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Community Center for IDPs, operated by HUMAN ACCESS in Marib Governorate, granted eight entrepreneurship projects in the presence of the Director General of the Social Affairs and Labor office in the governorate, Abdulhakim Al-Qaisi, the Deputy Director of the Executive Unit for the Management of IDPs Camps (ExU), Dr. Khaled Al-Shijni, and the Director of the UNHCR office in Marib, Peter Fitz Morris.
As part of the advanced entrepreneurship program, these pioneering projects aim to reduce poverty and unemployment in Yemen by providing sustainable solutions.
These projects included a bus, medicines and medical supplies, an integrated women's sewing factory, an integrated women's photography workshop, a thermal printing advertising center, a soap making factory, a center specializing in media services and electronic marketing, raising productive livestock and producing fodder through cultivation, a bookshop and stationery tools.
A handover was attended by Al-Qaisi, who acknowledged the efforts of HUMAN ACCESS and UNHCR in implementing qualitative and purposeful programs and qualifying entrepreneurs to manage private projects successfully.
In the face of increasing humanitarian needs and challenges, one of the sustainable solutions to daily difficulties is to provide projects based on studies of the labor market to enable beneficiaries to earn a living.
During a period of six months, the advanced entrepreneurship program, which is considered the first in Marib, will continue to provide consultations to beneficiaries and measure the progress of projects, aiming to move projects forward, create a positive and sustainable impact on society, and stimulate economic growth.
